You took the words right out of my mouth OG.
I wouldn`t go up ther if you paid me, unless I had
my Angel wings on.

some years back the national geographic featured an awesome photo of
chicago. It was taken from atop the sears tower radio tower. Showing a guy
changing the light bulb. He was laid out on an arm doing it.

I'd have to give some deep thought before I'd make that climb.
It's not the height, it's what you see below that would scare the hell out
of me.

One job I've always considered doing, is changing the light bulbs on the
mackinac bridge.

I'll bet that job goes for more than minimum wage. Have any idea what
they get paid for that? Beyond me at any price.

A nephew of mine worked on cell towers until he went on a crack cocaine
binge and didn't show up for work a couple times. He wasn't making much
more than 15 / hr.

i'm sure these guys get way more than that. I think they get paid by the
job rather than by the hour. You figure half your day is spent climbing the
damn thing.

The cell towers I've seen wouldn't bother me, I have been up some tall
telephone poles in my time.

Cell towers have to be 300 feet by design. That's what 30 stories on a
building?

The only one here in town is on the water tower and the ones I have seen
along the highway are 100ft max. I don't use a cell phone so don't know
much about them. When I leave the house the last thing I want to hear
is a phone ringing.

I don't know what you are seeing along the highway but depending on the
local elevation GSM and CDMA-EVO X towers need to be 150 - 300 feet.
